Okay; so where are you getting your information about Turkey then?

Turkey absolutely is a dictatorship; and as far as I'm aware, most regressive leftists don't have an opinion on Turkey one way or the other. It's just not on their radar. Also, considering they're allied with Russia, I'm not sure why you think Turkey is willing to help contain them.

TL;DR, Biden made an offhanded commitment to build a floating dock off the shore of Gaza to facilitate humanitarian aid. Israel won't like this, and Hamas will use it as an opportunity to attack; but Zeihan thinks that's what Biden wants, with the ultimate goal of cutting ties with Israel in...

Do you know how many nukes they have? Or how effective their delivery systems are? Because I don't. What I do know is that corruption is rampant in China, to the point where their infrastructure is in shambles due to all the cost-cutting and graft. The CCP cannot even build a building or a...

It's questionable what China's nuclear capabilities even are at this point, considering all the corruption.

What I said was that the United States withdrawal from Europe would accelerate the collapse of the European Union, not the other way around. Germany dominates them right now economically through the European Union, and most of those countries are incredibly bitter about that. Once the EU...

Except those "centuries of military tradition" were mostly spent fighting amongst themselves, and the existence of the European Union (who's collapse is inevitable, and would accelerate with America's withdrawal from Europe) has only stoked tensions in the region. A rebuilt German military would...

I'm struggling to think of any King of England, that wouldn't be superior to our current President; though I'd argue Charles III only barely manages it by not being obviously senile. That aside though, I'm personally sick of how ungrateful most of Europe has acted towards my country, even though...

Mostly he's just good at pointing out that the current status quo will inevitably change, that the world is running out of young people, and that America is a big country with way more resources than any other country.

Keep in mind; any amount of training would surpass China's by leaps and bounds, simply due to the fact that their soldiers do not train. The vast majority of their time is spent being brainwashed so that they'll follow any and all orders of the CCP without question, and marching in parades...

Not every conflict is a World War.

And where, exactly, do you think the money to build those ships is going to come from? Considering even the guy criticizing Zeihan admits in another video, after spending almost twenty minutes praising China's economic development, that their economy is headed for a collapse (though in a way...

A lot of his data seems suspect; like when he compares America's and China's navies based solely on the total number of ships, ignoring both what kind of ships they are, and their quality. For example, note that even the graph he uses as evidence points out that China counts patrol crafts as...

Eh, fair enough; but that aside, I do think Zeihan deserves at least a little credit. Because a lot of Americans have lost interest in their country trying to enforce its will on the rest of the world; even if almost none them include the ruling elite who actually have the power to make those...

It's an interesting argument, but one fraught with logical fallacies and misinformation; and considering the fact that the guy is very much all about demonizing America and western civilization in general (one of his other videos has him pushing pro-Hamas propaganda) I'd take anything he has to...

A Germany will exist; but not one we're familiar with, and I think that holds true for most of Europe.

Unfortunately, that reason is the fact that business culture became obsessed with disregarding long-term stability in favor of short-term profits. They would rather save an extra five cents total (not per item; total) this quarter in manufacturing costs, even if it meant doing something that...

It's not just the manufacturing sector though; employees' relationships with their employers have become adversarial across the board.

The rest of mainland Europe probably won't be too far behind, so at least they won't be alone in their suffering.

To be fair, pretty much the entire western establishment media complex was insisting that it would, and sadly Zeihan tends to trust them on matters outside of his very narrow wheelhouse.
